- Hurry. - There's no such thing as a ghost.
I'm sure I heard something.
Hae-su, are you afraid of ghosts?
Aren't you?
I've always wanted to meet one.
Just tell Moo-jin to go down by himself.
You're scared, aren't you?
Hey, you guys wait here.
I'll go interview the ghost.
Be careful.
All right.
Reporter Kim Moo-jin is coming in. Follow me.
I'm scared already.
All right. Let's take it slow.
One step at a time.
Gosh, it's spooky.
This is cool.
What is this?
What's that?
Moo-jin, what are you doing here?
Moo-jin, you're very brave.
My kids can barely grab the doorknob to the basement door.
Did you film anything interesting?
Let me see.
Kim Moo-jin.
Oh, dear. Moo-jin, why are you trembling?
I see.
I guess the elk startled you.
"Elk"?
Yes.
If that's not an elk, what else could it be?
Oh, so it's an elk.
You're right. It's an elk.
Right?
How does this necklace look exactly the same?
It's still shining so beautifully.
Are you wearing the necklace I gave you?
Since when?
I'll see you at your place.
Okay.
CHA JI-WON POLICE AGENCY
Who on earth is he?
Tell me who he is.
I can't tell you that until I become safe.
Who knows?
You might stab me in the back with him if I tell you.
If you,
by any chance,
get in my way before I run away with my money,
I'll be sure to side with him and kill both you and Jung Mi-suk.
Do you like money that much?
I get so thrilled
just by its scent.
I can't say we're more than friends if I don't go to pick her up.
HAE-SU
Why is she not picking up?
Hae-su!
Hae-su. Wake up.
Hae-su.
Hae-su! Hae-su…
Hae-su, wait.
There's an emergency patient. Please hurry and come right away.
2020-057 MAKMUN-DONG MURDER CASE
The victim, Park Sun-yeong, came to work at Gong Mi-ja's house
at 10:00 a.m. on the 12th.
10:00 A.M. CAME TO WORK
At 7:30 p.m. on the same day,
she left Gong Mi-ja's house and took a cab.
That's the last camera that caught her while she was alive.
Park Sun-yeong's credit card transactions show her whereabouts afterward.
At 7:50 p.m., she paid the taxi fare.
At around 8:00 p.m., she ordered in some food with her phone in her house.
It was kimchi stew with rice.
The delivery man stated
that he handed the food over to Park Sun-yeong at 8:30 p.m.
So it means she was alive at least until 8:30 p.m.
8:30 P.M. DELIVERY MAN ARRIVED
So what's strange about that?
Her estimated time of death.
Her estimated time of death?
According to the autopsy report,
she died within four to six hours after eating.
She got her dinner at 8:30 p.m. That means she died after 12:30 a.m.
But the autopsy report says that her finger joints had already become stiff.
It means it had been at least ten hours since her death.
If that's the case, she should have died before 9:00 p.m.
One says it was after 12:00 a.m., and the other says it was before 9:00 p.m.
The time of death doesn't overlap.
The rate of rigor mortis and decay varies depending on environmental conditions.
That's why the NFS couldn't estimate exact time just by performing an autopsy.
Like you said, the only thing we can be sure of
is that Park Sun-yeong was alive until 8:30 last night.
What's important for us
is her whereabouts afterward.
I know that too. I get it.
I should go meet the delivery man myself.
He might have seen someone suspicious around Park Sun-yeong's house.
It was poorly investigated. I should get going.
We got the dashcam footage I talked about earlier.
I'm sure this is when he called my husband to lure him out.
It also matches with the time when your husband got the call.
I'll have this footage analyzed.
Wait.
It seems like he chose a place where there's no CCTV camera around.
Why do you think he didn't care about the dashcam?
It's a fatal mistake for the culprit.
It's a dead giveaway that he called Do Hyeon-su.
I find it strange too.
Detective Cha, don't pick it up unless you know the number.
It might be a reporter.
Okay.
This is Gangsu Police Station.
What?
Eun-ha. Eun-ha!
Where's my daughter?
She's in there, but she won't open the door unless her mom is here.
We figured if we forced it open, it might frighten her.
Eun-ha.
Mommy's here. Can you open the door?
EUN-HA'S ROOM
Eun-ha, it's really Mom.
You can open it now.
EUN-HA'S ROOM
- Mom. - Eun-ha.
- Mom.
Mom.
Are you all right? Are you hurt?
Someone broke into the house.
The teacher told me
to stay in my room and lock the door.
And she told me not to open it unless it's you.
Good. You did well, Eun-ha.
Where is she?
Promise me.
That you will never leave her alone.
MIJA PHARMACY
You called me a lot later than expected.
Do you think it's easy to prepare 500 million won in cash?
Where should we meet?
Ms. Jung Mi-suk.
Ms. Jung Mi-suk?
Who are you?
I'm
Do Hyeon-su.
The accomplice in the Yeonju Serial Murder Case
is after you now.
He will be here soon.
Ms. Jung Mi-suk.
You're the only survivor of the serial murderer
and witness.
And…
I'm going to catch him.
Please don't come close to me.
Please don't come near me.
This is the only key
to this lock.
Unless you unlock this door yourself, no one…
can open it.
You're safe.
I promise.
Are you saying
you will help me?
Yes.
You're lying.
I don't believe you.
The guy also told me that he'd help me meet my family.
But it was all a lie.
Why?
Why do you want to help me?
Maybe…
that's because
you and I are in a similar situation.
How are we in a similar situation?
Because you have no idea why
you're going through all this.
And that's exactly how I feel now.
Mom, I should get going now.
Ji-won.
Can you
just stay here with me?
Just hide in here with me.
Mom.
I can't believe this is happening to us.
Is this all because of Hee-seong?
Isn't it?
He completely deceived you.
And he made you miserable.
I hate him so much.
I haven't changed at all.
I can be happy only when he's happy.
So
when he comes back, please take pity on him.
Please embrace him just like you embrace me.
Isn't he the guy from the dashcam footage?
That's him. He was after Ji-won. He was waiting for her in front of her house.
Who on earth is this bastard?
You know what? Maybe… we should leak some false information.
False information?
If the culprit finds out Ji-won is alive, she will be in danger.
We haven't even identified the culprit yet.
Yes. You're right.
I'll go leak the information to some reporters.
Detective Im, call Mapo Police Station and ask for their cooperation.
Yes, sir.
Is this Mapo Police Station?
It's my fault.
I promised Hyeon-su.
That I would never leave her alone.
I promised.
Hae-su has no defensive wounds.
To protect Eun-ha,
she didn't try to fight back or run away.
Can you catch that bastard?
Yes. We'll catch him at all costs.
The weapon cut the peritoneum and damaged the organs.
She went into shock from blood loss,
so we can't be sure she will be all right for now.
We need to wait until she regains consciousness.
Director Baek Man-u.
What?
Hae-su asked
Director Baek Man-u for something.
What is it?
The list of the Ilsin University Hospital overseas volunteers.
From 1999 to 2002.
What about it?
Hae-su said one of the volunteers
is the accomplice.
I'll go get the list first.
I'll tell you the details at the police station later.
Mr. Kim, I'll come with you.
- Ho-jun. - Ji-won.
You can't be alive today.
What?
FEMALE DETECTIVE FROM GANGSU STATION STABBED TO DEATH AT HOME
Long time no see, Ms. Jung Mi-suk.
Do you remember me?
You didn't remember me when we found you 15 years ago.
So you remember me.
You haven't changed.
Okay.
Let's not meet ever again.
I'm totally with you.
Goodbye.
Why do we have to meet like this every time?
I guess
no matter how hard you try, you just can't escape from me.
This must be your fate.
So I'm the one he was trying to kill.
He doesn't know my face.
- What? - What do you mean?
He waited to kill me, but how could he not know my face?
He even got my husband's fingerprints
and hid the victim's hair in our car trunk. But how
could he not know my face?
Right. That's strange.
What if…
there is more than one culprit?
It was my first time to go there.
Did you notice anything strange when you handed over the food?
Well, I just gave her the food.
The victim is Deaf.
Did she make any unusual facial expressions or gestures?
No.
Please take a look at these photos. Did you see a guy who looks like this?
I have no idea.
Okay.
If you recall anything…
Oh, right. By the way,
she wasn't Deaf.
What?
There was a doorbell next to the front door.
Yes, but that's a light doorbell.
If you push the button, the light flashes inside.
No. That night, I didn't ring the doorbell.
Delivery.
I knocked.
Please enjoy.
There are a lot of families with babies, so I mostly knock.
There might be more than one culprit.
The one who gathered information might not be the one
who committed murder.
It's Detective Choi.
DETECTIVE CHOI
Yes, Detective Choi.
Check the autopsy report
and see what food was found in Park Sun-yeong's stomach.
Pork, kimchi, and a little tofu.
But we don't use tofu.
Park Sun-yeong didn't die after dinner. She died after lunch.
When she left Gong Mi-ja's house at 7:30 p.m.,
she was already dead.
Then who is this person on the footage?
Someone who'd do anything to protect the culprit.
Please enjoy.
The culprit's
mother.
Hae-su said one of the volunteers
is the accomplice.
Baek Hee-seong.
Now I know why the culprit didn't care about the dashcam footage.
That's because there were no dashcam cameras 15 years ago.
Baek Hee-seong has come around.
What is this?
Yeom Sang-cheol, that rat bastard.
Come here.
Come over here.
I said come here! Get over here!
Come here!
What is it now?
What game are you guys trying to play?
Where are you looking at now?
Stop it. Please stop. You win.
I said stop! It hurts!
Just see who I am before you beat me up like that, you bastard!
Hi. Nice to see you.
You must've been dying to know who I was.
How do you feel to find out?
You seem quite surprised.
Ms. Do Hae-su was stabbed?
Yes.
How is she holding up now?
She's still unconscious.
Are you sure she was stabbed
by the accomplice in the Yeonju Serial Murder Case?
I'm sure.
That's why we urgently need the names and photos of the overseas volunteers.
I heard Hae-su asked you for the list.
But Ms. Do is unconscious right now.
What can you do with the list and photos?
We can check their alibis for the time of the incident one by one.
I thought you'd be able to get me the list
more quickly than the foundation would.
So I rushed over here.
I'm glad you came.
I already had it ready.
Please wait a moment.
GANGSU STATION CHA JI-WON
Please excuse me.
Yes, Detective Cha.
Mr. Kim, just answer my questions with a yes or a no from now on.
Okay.
Are you at Director Baek Man-u's house now?
Yes.
Is someone around you?
- Yes. - Leave the place quietly.
What?
Do Min-seok's accomplice
who tried to kill Do Hae-su has been identified.
Who is that?
Baek Man-u and Gong Mi-ja's son,
Baek Hee-seong.
Don't show any response.
We assume that Baek Man-u and Gong Mi-ja are his accomplices.
We will be there as soon as we get a warrant.
So just leave the house quietly.
What's the matter, Mr. Kim?
Where is your son?
Baek Hee-seong. Where is he?
Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim!
We have to go there without a warrant.
Mr. Kim is worked up, so he might be in danger.
What are you doing? What is this all about?
This is my house. You can't do this.
Baek Hee-seong!
Let's sit and have a talk.
I think there's a misunderstanding. Let me explain…
Let's talk first!
No.
Move over.
Don't do this. You can't do this.
It's no use.
The police are on their way here now.
He's not here.
Isn't your son supposed to be lying
unconscious in there?
You can't leave.
Do you still not understand how pointless all of this is?
Why is it pointless?
It'll be all right if you're dead.
I'll kill you and turn myself in.
What difference does it make?
My son will change!
If I sacrifice myself for him, he will eventually change.
He wasn't like that before.
If he hadn't met Do Min-seok,
he wouldn't have turned out that way.
I want
to give him one last chance.
One last chance?
When I was young,
I saw a big sack in the basement
of Do Min-seok's workshop.
I see.
I guess the elk startled you.
- "Elk"? - Yes.
If that's not an elk, what else could it be?
Oh, so it's an elk.
You're right. It's an elk.
And up until now,
I've tried to believe…
that it was an elk in the sack.
Why?
If I didn't…
it would be too frightening.
But you know what?
No matter how hard I try…
the fact that it was a person
that was in the sack doesn't change.
I know you've always known…
what's
inside your son.
What you want to change isn't your son's future.
It's the moment you realized…
who your son really was…
and turned away from the truth.
So,
let go of your false hopes.
Let go of me!
We have an obligation
to reveal the truth.
Until you meet the obligation,
you can't die.
It's strange.
We both knew
things would end this way.
So why
did we have to
come this far?
So how does it feel to have played into my hands?
I finally get it now.
I get how you were able to set me up.
Don't get too excited that you caught me.
You will never be able to escape from my shadow anyway.
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that to me?
I never regret what I did.
I'll be sentenced to life in prison anyway.
Where's your phone?
The phone you used to call Yeom Sang-cheol.
I'll probably be caught in the spotlight, right?
Your phone.
I should try publishing a book in jail.
A book about how I grew up,
what Do Min-seok and I did for fun,
and what we talked about.
And even how
we transformed murder into art.
I'm sure everyone's dying to know that.
How well do you think my book will sell?
Don't try too hard.
There's no way you can affect me.
My phone is in my pocket.
Tell the police to come quick and arrest me.
And
get me an ambulance too.
I think I will need one.
Hyeon-su is different.
Do Hyeon-su is a failure.
I put a lot of effort into him, though.
What's with that face?
You should be flattered.
You're my best accomplishment.
CHA JI-WON POLICE AGENCY
Oh, right. Give me back the ID card.
That's my souvenir.
How…
Why do you have this?
Why do you think?
Don't lie to me.
Your house was lovely.
About the model boat behind the TV.
Whose is it?
I loved it.
Hey.
Don't you dare lie to me.
Tell me it's a lie.
Say that you're lying. Now!
Do Min-seok turned me into a murderer.
So I'll do the same to you.
That's only fair.
Call the police now.
Stick to your plan.
I don't believe you.
I don't believe what you say.
"Eun-ha, promise me
that you won't open the door unless it's Mom."
"Can you do that, Eun-ha?"
That was so touching.
I almost cried.
I didn't touch your kid.
I wouldn't stoop so low, you know.
Please.
Please pick up.
The person you have called is unavailable. You will be directed…
This is the police situation room.
I'd like to report a crime.
Please put me through…
to Detective Cha Ji-won at Gangsu Police Station.
Please hang up and wait. The detective in charge will call you back.
- Hello? - This is Mapo Police Station.
Did you call us regarding the police officer attack case?
What is it you want to report?
Was…
the victim…
Detective Cha Ji-won?
Yes, it's her.
How is she?
She passed away.
Hello?
What about her kid?
The kid is safe.
I'm bound to win no matter what.
I win even if you hand me over to the police.
And I win even if you kill me.
There's no way you can win this game.
Please call the police.
No. Don't.
Tell them…
Do Hyeon-su killed a person.
Don't become a murderer because of that bastard.
Tell them I cut off
all his limbs…
and mangled
his face to pulp
while he was still alive.
Even after all that…
he kept crawling around alive…
so I stabbed him…
over and…
over again…
to kill him.
Don't.
Run away now. Run!
Run now!
Run!
Don't go.
Please don't go.
Darn it.
Damn!
Where is Baek Hee-seong?
We really don't know.
All we know is he went to meet Yeom Sang-cheol.
How can you not know? You guys are his accomplices.
- Calm down, Detective Cha. - I can't.
The murderer must be with my husband right now.
He's
in bad shape now.
He won't be
able to harm Hyeon-su.
What's the license plate number of Baek Hee-seong's car?
It's 54 GA 706…
Captain, we got a call from Mapo Police Station.
A man called to ask if Detective Cha's dead.
This is his number.
Do you know this number?
I don't know the number.
But he does have an old phone that he uses to contact Yeom Sang-cheol.
But what's strange is
that he asked about the kid too.
Baek Hee-seong wouldn't have asked that since he didn't touch the kid.
Oh, no.
It must've been him.
Hello?
This is Detective Cha Ji-won from Gangsu Police Station.
Who is this?
Detective Cha Ji-won?
Who is this speaking?
Are you…
Ms. Jung Mi-suk?
Please hurry and come.
Please come and save Do Hyeon-su.
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
Excuse me. How is Do Hae-su?
Visiting hours are over.
- Please wait in the waiting… - Just tell me how she's doing.
That's all I need to know.
What's your relationship with her?
Well, I'm her friend.
We can't speak to you about her condition unless you're her legal guardian.
How could she have a legal guardian when she hasn't lived with any family?
Just do this one for me once.
I'm sorry. I'm not allowed to do so.
But…
Run.
Just go ahead and kill me. You psychopath!
I said to run.
Baek Hee-seong ran away, and Do Hyeon-su went after him.
We're searching around the building and the woods.
- Let's go. - Detective Cha.
She insists on talking to you.
She's here.
Ms. Jung Mi-suk.
He said he killed you.
CHA JI-WON POLICE AGENCY
I felt really bad for your husband.
So even if…
he kills that murderer…
it's not his fault.
He didn't do anything wrong. I saw the whole thing.
There can be no excuse for murder.
Murder…
is just murder.
Thank you for staying alive.
Kill me.
Go ahead and do it.
You're the one who will live…
and suffer endless pain.
All right.
Honey!
Honey.
Drop the knife and come over here.
Let the police take care of it.
You…
Are you really Ji-won?
What are you talking about?
I don't think he's in his right mind.
Detective Cha, step back.
Honey, what are you doing? Drop the knife and come over here!
He said… He said you're dead.
No. It was part of our plan.
I'm right here alive.
Ji-won.
What are you doing? Come back.
Detective Im, her safety is our priority.
Shoot if the worst happens.
Yes, sir.
It's all over.
You just need to come over here.
I…
I see a dead person.
So I can't believe you're alive,
even though you're standing in front of me.
Then come here and hold me.
Come here! Come and hug me!
Guys, don't let your guard down.
Leave Do Hyeon-su be and go arrest Baek Hee-seong.
Doctor, Ms. Do Hae-su is awake.
How long have I been here?
My mind is all fuzzy.
I think we're by the sea.
But why don't I hear the sound of waves?
Don't ask questions.
That's how you can forget everything.
Okay.
You've lived with all your might.
Thank you so much.
You can rest in peace now.
I know…
you've been through a lot because of me.
That's how much I loved you, so it's okay.
We've had our happy moments and painful moments.
Every single moment I have had with you
will remain a beautiful memory to me.
So you don't need to worry about me anymore.
You know,
it's really quiet here.
Because there's no one else here.
It's just the two of us.
Then…
this must be heaven.
I'm so sleepy.
Okay.
Sleep tight.
CHA JI-WON POLICE AGENCY
Breathe.
It's already been four months.
Say something. Anything is fine.
I want your dad to be happy.
So…
I want your dad…
to live freely for once.
